Bothered by Your Browns?

News & Tips | Skin Care Tips
Do your browns have you down? The brightening news is there are many treatment options available to help minimize your spots and get you looking your best! Many factors come in to play when it comes to brown spots. Some of these factors are genetically influenced but a majority of them have to do with the sun. Furthermore, not all brown spots are the same, thus, the first step is to have a licensed dermatology provider diagnose your skin condition. Based on the diagnoses, we are able to personalize a treatment regimen that will get your skin looking vibrant and even-toned. Freckles, solar lentigines or age spots are common brown macules that occur on sun-exposed surfaces. Several office procedures are utilized to minimize the appearance of them. A Photofacial or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based treatment similar to a laser and yields exceptional results. IPL uses light to penetrate the skin and pull out excessive pigment and redness giving you that even-toned skin of your youth.Seborrheic Keratoses are very common benign skin growths that pop up as we age. These lesions can look like flat brown spots or rough raised spots. A great procedure we utilize to treat these lesions is a TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel. This procedure uses an agent that causes a medium-depth peel of the epidermis resulting in collagen stimulation and brown spot reduction. Melasma typically results in larger areas of hyperpigmentation on the face and tends to be hormonally influenced. ReBrightalyze Lotion is a topical therapy offered in our office that brightens and evens out skin tone. It is a combination of Emblica, Arbutin, Bearberry extract and Kojic acid. When combined with the lightening power of hydroquinone, this lotion offers an antioxidant rich moisturizing formula that will diminish the appearance of brown spots. HydraFacials are a great primary, adjunct and maintenance treatment for brown spots reduction. This treatment works by removing surface damage and skin impurities and infusing antioxidants and nutrients into your skin.Regardless of treatment modality, sunscreens and sun protection remain the most important preventive modalities. A sunscreen that is made up with greater than 7% Zinc Oxide is essential to prevent and maintain brown spot free skin. Zinc Oxide is a physical block sunscreen that shields your skin from the entire spectrum of UVA and UVB damaging sun rays. Call our office today to schedule a consultation for your brown spots. We will be able to give you a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan that will get you on the fast track to vibrant skin! Check out our 15% TCA Peel Special good through 4/15/16!
